We had a peahen at the shelter today and the light was making wonderful shadows of her head. I can't decide which I like, so I'm asking for opinions. The ones where she appears to be looking at the shadow are kind of funny (and she did spend a lot of time staring at herself that way), but the shapes in the others are interesting, too. Only one gets posted on the shelter's website and I might as well make it a good one!

I'd go with the 3rd or 4th image.

I like 4 best, with 3 my second choice. :) In 5 it appears she's been skewered by the fence shadow.

So skewering *isn't* what I should be suggesting to people? (makes note to self)

3's looking most popular, with 4 right behind. I have a couple more hours before I have to decide ...

OK, went with number 3.

For comparison, here's the pic the caretakers were using:

You should see the pictures they take of the poor cats being held by the scruffs of their necks :-(

Thanks for the feedback!

Oh no! I'm sure you can take some nicer pictures of the poor kittys.
